lyrics

Back at Eleusis, 600 BC,
people got religion, and it ain’t no mystery;
them little spores of ergot gave them eyes to see,
and everyone got born again like Persephone.

Spores on the barley, spores on the rye!
Them little spores will cleanse your doors;
they’ll make your ego die!
All throughout history, people getting high!
Spores on the barley, spores on the rye!

Salem, Massachusetts got turned on its head
when the baker made a batch of ergotized bread.
The whole town went insane; they wanted witches dead.
They blamed it on the devil, but it was the rye, instead.

Spores on the barley, spores on the rye!
Them little spores will make you soar;
they’ll make witches fly!
All throughout history, people out of their minds!
Spores on the barley, spores on the rye!

Old Albert Hoffman, he didn’t know
just how far a little LSD could go.
He put on his white coat and took a little nip,
and had the most amazing bicycle trip.

Spores on the barley, spores on the rye!
Little molecules could be the tools to open your third eye!
All throughout history, people getting high!
Spores on the barley, spores on the—
Spores on the barley, spores on the rye!
Them little spores will cleanse your doors;
they’ll make your ego die!
All throughout history, people getting high!
Spores on the barley, spores on the rye!
